The HM-11 (JDY-10) is a minimalist Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module based on the TI CC2541 SoC. It offers BLE 4.0 connectivity with UART interface in a compact footprint, ideal for embedded systems, wearables, and IoT nodes. This bare version excludes voltage regulation and adapter board, making it suitable for direct 3.3 V integration.
